Memorial Funds Set Up in Orono Coach's Honor

From Orono School District Superintendent Dr. Karen Orcutt:

Since our sad message last Thursday, many of you have shared condolences about the death of our treasured coach Bob Perry. Here is a link to the full obituary published in the Star Tribune.

At a time such as this, and particularly in a close-knit community such as ours, the question nearly always is, “How can I help?”

We have a couple of suggestions.

First, the family has designated two different memorial funds to which people can contribute:

Orono Football Boosters Bob Perry Memorial Fund
1250 Phillips Dr.
Long Lake, MN  55356

Or

Three Rivers Dog Park Bob Perry Memorial Fund
3000 Xenium Ln. N.
Plymouth, MN  55441

In addition, the family is holding a special Memorial Service at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 18, in Pesonen Stadium on the Orono High School campus. Watch for more details on the district’s web site and Facebook page.

Our students and staff are doing better as we all adjust to a world without Bob’s positive attitude and drive.

It is the concern that individuals of our school community show for each other that truly makes Orono Schools a special place. Thank you for your support of Orono Schools and for each other.
